Do any of you consider yourselves "bodybuilders" or at least enjoy lifting?

I lift weights, my routine is back and triceps 2 days a week and chest, shoulder and biceps 2 days a week, I do 200 ab crunches with some weight 2 days a week and almost always do 30 mins of cardio to burn 400 calories before starting with the weights, I have about 11% of body fat...

Oh and I aim for 3 sets of 8 reps for every muscle except abs, for abs I do 10 sets of 20 reps with 10 kilos on my chest

Its actually better to lift then do cardio. Glycogen is what our muscles use for energy, when we run out of glycogen our bodies use fat for energy (thats a good thing.) So if you lift before cardio you will deplete your glycogen stores and then when you do cardio you'll burn strait fat.

 

 

Didn't know that, I will have it in consideration, although I'm reaaaally thin right now, my abs are starting to show. I also want to buy Wii Fit, I know it's not nearly as good as a real workout, but I plan to use it for those days I get home really late and too tired to go to the gym...
